Application filed februai'y 13, 191a; Serial m. 74a,243.

To all whom itmay concern? I Be it known that I, W n ram (1P. BALD- w N,a 'citizen 'of the nited States of America, and resident of Holyoke, in'the county of Hampden and State-of Massachusetts, have invented certainnew and useful' Improvements inJCuffs, of which the following is'aiiull, clear, and exact'descrip" tion.

This invention relates to animproved cufl for shirt to be providedeither as attachedto theshii t or detachable 'therefro1n. a The cuffcomprises a plurality of leaves arranged in overlapping relations withfree edges thereof extended outwardly beyond the relatively adjacentleaves'so that when' illl'QlltQ-l'filOSt leaf becomes soiled on worn itmay be folded inwardly, leaving the un'-' soiled or unwo'rnleaf nextthereto to serve as the outer edge portion of the cuff.

The invention is. described in conjunction with the accompanyingdrawings and is set forth in. the claim. v

In the drawings :,Figures 1 '2. and 3 represent face views of cuffs. inwhich my invention is comprised, but. of different styles. Figs. 4,5.and'.6 are sectional views on lines -1, 5 5 and 6=-6, Figs. 7 and 8are sectional. views of the cuff shown in 'Figs. 1 and l,-sh,owing inthe one case one of the leaves inwardly and reversely .turned and inthe'second case two of the 1eaves'inwardly and-reversely turned.

' The cuff comprises a plurality of leaves a,

inner portions'of which are 'secured,. as by stitching indicated at b tointermediate portions of leaves next thereto, such leaves having theirouter portions 'freeand extended ed'gewise beyond the leaves ad acen tthereto and 0 which they are secured or connected.

' Several of the leaves are provided with butadjacent buttonholeprovided leaves, which openings extend to the ends of the cuff.

Assuming that the cuff is worn in the usual manner, held initswristencircling form by cuff buttons engaged through the outermostbuttonholes," after the forward edge portion of the culf'shall havebecome soiled, the buttons or links are detached,

the soiled portion is folded inwardly upon In the .use of the cuff madeas represented in Fig. :2, in which the openings d in leafoverlappedparts open at the 'ends of the cuff, it is seen that the cuff buttonwill engage through the buttonholes of leaf No. '2

and pass through the opening in leaf No, ,1

which is overlaid by the buttonhole provided portion of leaf No. 2. Whenit-is desired to inwardly fold leaf No; l,'it is not necessary to detachthe cuff button, as such in folding-is not obstructed by the shank ofthe cuff button or link owing to the provisionof theendwise openingrecesses When leaf No. 2 is to be inwar'dlyfolded,

the cufi button will necessarily be removed and carried. to engagementthrough-the buttonholes of leaf Nod, the' buttonhole providedportions ofwhich overlie the recessed portions of-leaf No. 8; so leaf No. 3'

mav lie-inwardly foldedas. was leafNo. 1

without the necessity of the removal of the cuff button. i I claim v Acuff comprising a plurality of leaves,

inner portions of'which are secured to intermediate portions of leavesnext thereto, and such leaves having their outer portions free andextended edgewise beyond the adjacent leaves to which they are secured,seyeral of the leaves being provided with buttonholes in their outerportio is near'the and ends,

- and the leaves next inwardly relatively to the so provided leaveshaving openings in their leaf-overlapped portions 'which are extendedto, and open at, the ends of the cuff.
